Warm up:

Farmers & Lumberjacks: Spread a bunch of tall traffic cones (trees) around the workout space. Assign half the class to be Farmers, who work to keep the cones upright (plant trees) and the other half of the class to be Lumberjacks who tip over the cones (cut down trees). Recommended guidelines: only hands can be used to tip or stand up cones, kids switch roles at least once during the game.

Skill work:

Partner Press: Partners start out seated back to back either on the floor or on a box. A 4-6 inches of space in between is helpful. One partner holds a light plate (5-10lbs) vertically in front of the shoulders, presses to the overhead position and returns to the starting position. On the second rep, the plate is passed overhead to the other partner. Be careful to communicate about who has “got it” before letting go. This can be done simultaneously as pairs in rotation with direct trainer supervision depending on the athletes.
